Green course at Bull Pond - USMA B meet.
Navigation not so clean, and I ended up skipping #2 after looking for it quite a while. I was the first starter, and after a while there were three of us hunting for it, so I gave up. Particularly because I needed to get back to go to Zack's cross country meet. Turns out I was too far west in a difficult area with lots of unmapped 4 meter+ cliffs. Then lost a lot of time and bailed out on #3 before attacking again. Trouble following a straight line on 4, 6 and 8, although no trouble finding the controls once I figured out where I was. Hot day, and moving slowly, but it was fun and worth the trip.

Note
Went to the Canterbury Invitational XC meet in New Milford on the way home from West Pt. Got there in time for the girls' race and saw Doodle from Forman finish a strong 3rd. Meanwhile, the Forman boys had spent most of the day in the hot sun and Zack was already fairly overheated by the start. He settled into about 9th place for most of the run, and put on a strong finish to move up to 8th in 18:59, but collapsed at the finish line with some pretty classic heat exhaustion symptoms. He spent about an hour either laying on a table at the medical tent or stumbling around, not even sure if he had finished the race. It was pretty scary. A couple of hours later he was mostly bounced back, but he went to bed right after supper.
